Cascade – A comprehensive toolbox for integrating low-temperature sub-networks in existing district heating networks
Low temperature district heating networks can very effectively utilize renewable heat sources such as solar or geothermal energy, ambient heat or low temperature waste heat. However, the vast majority of urban district heating networks operate...
Beurteilung von Advanced Materials in Emerging Solar Technologies unter besonderer Berücksichtig der Kreislaufwirtschaft
Novel photovoltaic technologies (“Emerging” PV technologies) enable the manufacturing of ultra-thin, flexible and lightweight solar cells that open up new areas of application (from building to medical technology). The inorganic / organic advanced materials used...
Zukünftige Entwicklung der Raumkühlung durch Klimawandel bis 2050
Based on the weather observations of the past decades and the calculation results of current climate models, significant increases in annual and seasonal mean temperatures are to be expected in Austria. There is already an...
New business models for innovative energy service bundles for residential consumers
Despite the high energy savings potential in the EU, the market for ESCOs in the residential sector is much less developed than in other sectors (e.g. industry or public/services). In addition to cross-sectoral barriers (e.g....
GReen power and Energy Efficiency iNvestments community-Financed for fOOTball buildings
Sports buildings represent a massive untapped potential for energy efficiency and renewable energy projects. However, accelerating the rate of sports building renovations requires innovative financing methods. The EU-funded GREENFOOT project will support this process by...
establishing Community Renewable Energy Webs
eCREW coordinates and supports the roll-out of an innovative scheme of household cooperation in energy management, addressing Community Renewable Energy Webs (CREWs), in which households jointly exploit household-level electricity generation and battery storage capacities and...
IEA SHC Task SHIP #3 – Solar Heat in Industrial Processes
The main objective of the task is to identify, verify and promote the role of SHIP plants (“Solar Heat in Industrial Processes”) as stand-alone systems and in integrated energy systems. Technical and non-technical barriers should...
IETS Annex 15: Industrielle Abwärmenutzung
As part of the IEA IETS Annex 15, potential for the use of waste heat and technologies for its integration are collected, bundled and processed through contributions from national research activities. This results in a...
IEA IETS Annex 19 Industrielle Elektrifizierung
Industrial electrification can make a major contribution to CO2 reduction. Annex goal is a knowledge transfer between the international and the state level. At national level, stakeholder involvement is aimed at clarifying the topic of...
Fully Integrated Reversible Solid oxide cell sysTem
In FIRST, a fully integrated reversible solid oxide cell (rSOC) system is being developed and tested in a living lab environment. The system can switch between water electrolysis and fuel cell operation on demand, resulting...
IEA DHC „Fernwärme und –Kälte inclusive Kraft-Wärme-Kopplung”
Hybrid energy networks, i.e. the integration of electricity, heat and gas networks, can make a decisive contribution to optimizing the energy system. The IEA DHC Annex TS3 analyzes the potential and challenges of hybrid energy...
Industrial Microgrids
As part of this project, technical, economic and legal framework conditions are mapped within an energy exchange platform, which is implemented and validated in 3 industrial energy communities with different focal points. The project will...
GmundenHighTLinkRD
The Gmunden cement plant has a waste heat potential of 10 MWth at 400°C. For this reason, the approach of using heat all year round is being pursued. The aim of the present project is...
REsidual soft WOod conversion to high characteristics drop-in bioFUELs
REWOFUEL aims to convert residual wood into bio-isobutene (bio-IBN) through fermentation, and then convert bio-IBN into advanced, drop-in biofuels and co-products. The process will be scaled up to TRL6-7 and produce renewable and sustainable alternatives...
Nutzung tiefer Geothermie in industriellen Prozessen
An approach for the substitution of fossil fuels in the supply of low-temperature processes is geothermal energy. The geological conditions for this would be available in Upper Austria. Geothermal heat is available 24/7 and should...
